RIFU is a political HC/Punk band from Trondheim, Norway. Combining influences that include everything from 90’s new-school hardcore to melodic punk and classic rock, RIFU is the music for the revolution! Their music bristles with rage, energy and ungovernable power. Their lyrics are highly political and uncompromising. The band is used to being one of few/no other left-winged hardcore bands in their region. By participating in the making of counterculture and promoting its values, RIFU believe we can make a difference.
In 2001, RIFU released their first full-length “ Revolutionary Tango (The Slavery Dance)” (D’sign) which already created a huge fan base for them. Their second album “Dead End Street” (Twisted Chords) followed in 2003 and did not only feature a new guitarist but also 11 tracks somewhere between Propagandhi and Refused. But never mind the big names as RIFU never reproduce but create their very own powerful and original style.
Go-Kart Records has just released their latest album “ Dead End Street” in the US in January 2005. For their upcoming 3-week tour in March they have recorded an EP “The Bombsessions” that will serve as an appetizer for the upcoming new album “Bombs for Food, Mines for Freedom” that will be released world-wide later in 2005 on Go-Kart!
“Listen up to the rhymes of Revolution, and the rhythms made of suppression. Let’s all dance the dance; the slavery dance, we’ve got everything to win, and nothing to loose.” |
